The sheriff's office says they will not press charges.
The pit bull, named Coco, has been held at the animal shelter since the attack that killed Louisa County Officer K-9 Maggie.
Friday, the Sheriff's Department and Coco's owner, Alfred Bennett came to an agreement and the issue will not go to court.
No charges will be filed as long as Bennett agrees to keep Coco in a pen and not on a leash where she could escape.
[Um, does anyone want to let the Sheriff's Department know that this pit bull has already chewed through a metal cage at the shelter?]
They say they put emotions aside to come to a fair agreement, but want to make sure the pit bull is contained and can't hurt any other animals.
A memorial for Maggie will take place at the end of January.
